It's a nice timer, but this recent casualization of the word 'fuck' is irritating, and I don't care to support it. It was in a ton of the blog headlines posted on this very site last year, and all it does is detract from the power of the word, while doing nothing to add an edge to your project. Sorry. Nice timer, though. Find a real way to motivate the user without abuse and it'd be even cooler.

There's a world of difference between "I fucking hate Javascript" and "Fuck you."
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. One can be incredibly rude and 'offensive' without swearing.

What kind of return data would interest you?
When I fail to do something within the allotted time - I would love to see: { "my_custom_task_name": { "task_id": 124575, "result": "FUCK_YOU", "reason": "Time limit void" } }

Make Fucking Badass Just Fucking Do It Now API (FBJFDINAPI for short); If I supply a string of text for a task, I need its ID. Given an ID, I need the time remaining on the timer. When the time reaches 0 on a given ID, I need a message to display to my users.

#86Stuff like this screams the "brogrammer" stereotype to me. Strip the profanity and there's not much of a joke left.

But how would it return this JSON to you? Through a callback URL specified?
Edit: And please ignore the other comments asking you to stop with the profanity, etc. Clearly, those people aren't your target audience, but we are. If anyone feels offended, I think it's fair they don't use your service at all, than complain about it...

Hey author, please don't dilute our finite set of profane words. Inventing new ones is hard.
